Terry was an amazing man and one I will truly miss. For the time I met Mr. Austin he was full of life and energy. I was blessed to be able to learn from him in life! He will be so dearly missed! His love for his family was something I always admired and appreciated! I will miss you brother! #AustinStrong
Kindness exuded from Terry. I will never forget his smile and I will always cherish the impact he had on Izzy…the laughs, the football chats and the endless encouragement. Though we only knew him for a short time he made such an impact. We will always remember him. Thank you for sharing him with us. He was simply the best. Sending you all our love.
My heart hurts for you and your family Jenny. Sending thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you. I heard there is a lot of family in town. I would like to get together once the family leaves and know how I can support you and fill in the gap like a family member to you. I am praying for your healing and that God gives comfort to the family.

The world has lost a remarkable leader and an extraordinary man. His radiant smile and unwavering kindness touched everyone around him, leaving a legacy that will never be forgotten. My heart aches for you, Jenny, Ayanna, and Jalen. He loved his family deeply, and that love was evident in everything he did.
Jenny and family… I am thinking of you and praying for your peace and comfort. Mikael (Deubrook ’96)
Terry was a classmate of mine and so many others. We all share fond memories of him from our time in Augsburg. He was a light on and off the football field. Wishing his family peace at this time.
Terry was a awesome boss to work for. He always had sense of humor and was not afraid to have a good laugh or play a joke. He was a great leader but when it came time for his kids Terry made sure they were priority one. You could tell how much he adored the kids as he spoke frequently about them and their accomplishments. Terry will be missed by his Wells Fargo Family.
I was a class lower than Terry. I was the track manager in Augsburg. He was a protector, always acted like a big brother. I am praying for your family in your time of grief.
Sending my deepest condolences to the family. May God comfort your heart and soul during this difficult time. ❤️❤️
